• J. ROCKETT AUDIO DESIGNS is proud to introduce the new “Aqueous” chorus pedal!

  

  2025/12/16

  J. ROCKETT AUDIO DESIGNS, the American effects brand, has released the compact “Aqueous” pedal, blending classic analog tone with modern functionality!
  Its Tilt EQ control lets you freely recreate everything from warm, classic Bucket Brigade sounds to Eric Johnson–style watery modern chorus. It features a built-in gain-compensating preamp section to counteract the volume drop often experienced with modulation effects, ensuring your sound remains stable and maximizing the circuit's inherent energy. It also handles a wide range of modulation effects, including rotary speaker simulation, modulation, chorus, and vibrato. Built on the belief that “all pedals should feel great to play,” it delivers not only rich tonal character but also a natural, faithful-to-the-original feel throughout.
  Experience the rich resonance of ’80s chorus, the thick tone of ’70s chorus, and a new sound that blends all these with a modern twist!
